Nana Mouskouri - The Ash Grove Lyrics

Lyrics The Ash Grove - Nana Mouskouri



Yn Nyffryn Llwyn Onn draw mi welais hardd feinwen
A minnau′n hamddena 'rol byw ar y don;
Gwyn ewyn y lli oedd ei gwisg, a disgleirwen
A′r glasfor oedd llygaid Gwen harddaf Llwyn Onn.
A ninnau'n rhodiana drwy'r lonydd i′r banna,
Sibrydem i′n gilydd gyfrinach byd serch;
A phan ddaeth hi'n adeg ffarwelio a′r wiwdeg,
Roedd tannau fy nghalon yng ngofal y ferch.
[Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twighlight is fading I pensively rove;
Or at the bright moontide in solitude wander,
Amid the dark shades of the lonely Ash Grove;
'Twas there, while the blackbird was cheerfully singing,
I first met that dear one the joy of my heart!
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing,
Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part.]
Cyn dychwel i borthladd wynebwn y tonnau,
Ond hyfryd yw′r hafan 'rol dicter y don;
Bydd melys anghofio her greulon y creigiau--
Un felly o′wn innau 'rol cyrraedd Llwyn Onn.
A thawel mordwyo wnaf mwyach a Gwenno
Yn llong fach ein bwthyn a hi wrth y llyw;
A hon fydd yr hafan ddiogel a chryno
I'r morwr a′i Wenno tra byddwn ni byw.
[Still glows the bright sunshine o′er valley and mountain,
Still warbles the blackbird its note from the tree;
Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain,
But what are the beauties of Nature to me?
With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden,
All day I go mourning in search of my love!
Ye echoes! oh tell me, where is the sweet maiden?
"She sleeps 'neath the green turf down by The Ash Grove."]
